Hi,

Thanks for the query.

In general, there is a small increase in chance of lymphoproliferative diseases with any long standing autoimmune disease. However, no different treatment is required for CLL with or without Hashimoto's.

Hence you should continue the management as your doctor says. I believe you are going in the right direction.

Thanks.
